TRIBUTES have poured in after the sudden passing of a Dunfermline man who starred in Hill of Beath Hawthorn FC’s greatest day. Russell Brebner, who played more than 500 games for the club and was part of their historic Scottish Junior Cup success in 1990, passed away last weekend at the age of 60. In a glittering career in junior football, which also included a spell with Kelty Hearts, Russell won every trophy on the Fife scene during a 13-year career at Keir’s Park, 12 of which he served as captain. After news of his death was shared by the club, a huge number of messages of condolence were posted, some of which described him as “a great team-mate and even better friend”, “a gentleman” and a “brilliant guy”.
